Objective:To investigate the follow-up colonoscopy of patients after colorectal adenoma (CRA) resection, so as to improve colonoscopy quality and reduce missed CRA diagnosis.Methods:A total of 189 patients after CRA resection who underwent follow-up colonoscopy from October 2020 to October 2021 were consecutively recruited. The effect of bowel preparation was evaluated by the Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS). The location, the number, and gross morphology of adenomas during CRA resection and two colonoscopies during 1 year follow-up after the resection were recorded, and their correlation with major clinicopathologic features were analyzed, and the missed CRA in follow-up colonoscopy were also analyzed.Results:The BBPS scores of the right colon, transverse colon, left colon and total colon in 189 patients who underwent CRA resection were 1.93±0.42, 2.53±0.52, 2.77±0.45, and 7.22±1.03 points at the 1-year follow-up colonoscopy and 2.08±0.35, 2.70±0.46, 2.81±0.40, and 7.57±0.84 points at the time of CRA resection. Except for the left colon segment ( χ 2=0.98, P>0.05), the differences in other colon segments were significantly different ( P<0.05). At the time of CRA resection, 62, 66, 210 and 338 CRAs were detected in the right colon, transverse colon, left colon and total colon segments, respectively. At the 1-year follow-up colonoscopy, 21, 38, 49 and 108 CRAs were missed in the corresponding colon segments and total colon, respectively. CRA missed diagnosis was related to patient age (≥60 years accounting for 54.2%), gender (males accounting for 81.9%), adenoma location (predominantly in the left colon comprising 36.2%) and gross morphology (flat types representing 72.3%) ( P<0.05), but not related to being vegetarian, history of cholecystectomy or appendectomy, smoking or alcohol consumption, number of adenomas or pathological type ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The missed diagnosis of CRA in patients after CRA resection primarily involves the flat type adenomas, which is associated with the age, gender, adenoma location within the colon and the gross morphology.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between peri-coronary fat attenuation index (FAI) and plaque formation in patients with myocardial bridge (MB) of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and to develop an optimal predictive model to explore the potential application of FAI in the primary prevention of MB related atherosclerosis.Methods:In this retrospective study, prediction models associated with perivascular fat inflammation were developed and validated using both logistic regression and machine learning (ML) algorithm. A training dataset was collected from 253 patients who underwent ≥2 coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with ≥3 months intervals from one tertiary hospital from January 2007 to April 2021 and had baseline CCTA showing no plaques in LAD MB. The median follow-up time was 3.2 years. According to the same criteria, a total of 75 LAD MB patients from four other hospitals were included to form an independent external validation dataset, with a median follow-up time of 1.8 years. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis with integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and category net reclassification index (NRI) were used to compare the performance of the predictive models.Results:62 patients (24.5%) in the training dataset had proximal plaque formation in LAD MB, while 22 patients (29.3%) in the external validation dataset had plaque formation during the follow-up period. Baseline FAI within the longitudinal distance equal to 30 mm proximal to the MB entrance was an independent predictor ( OR=1.068, P=0.046). According to the model results, ROC curves were plotted. The AUC of Model 1 was 0.822, and the AUCs of Model 2 and 1 were 0.821 and 0.591 in the training dataset. After the DeLong test, the AUC of Model 1 was superior to that of Model 2 ( Z=2.839, P=0.005) and Model 1 ( Z=6.124, P<0.001). These findings were further validated in the external validation dataset, where ML-model 3 yielded the best predictive performance, outperforming the logistic regression-based Model 2 (categorical NRI=0.359, P=0.048; IDI=0.108, P=0.046). Conclusion:FAI measured within the 30 mm proximal to the entrance of MBs due to its prone to plaque development is an independent predictor for atherosclerotic plaque formation. The ML-prediction model based on a decision tree algorithm combines FAI, MB anatomical features, and patient risk factors, which is beneficial for patients undergoing routine CCTA examination to identify inflamed coronary arteries in advance and guide the clinical adoption of more targeted preventive treatment, including anti-inflammatory treatment.

Objective:To quantitatively evaluate the level of the three medical linkage in China from 2009 to 2022,explore the influencing factors and driving paths of the three medical linkage in China,and provide a new perspective for promoting the development of the three medical linkage.Methods:An optimized coupling coordination degree model was used to calculate the coupling coordination degree between the trinity healthcare systems and different binary systems within the systems in 31 provinces of China(excluding Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan),and the Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis method was used to explore the condition configurations of multi-factor-driven three medical linkage.Results:From 2009 to 2022,the coupling coordination degree between the trinity healthcare systems in each province of China generally showed an increasing trend year by year.Among the binary systems,the overall coordinated development situation between the medical and medical insurance systems was the best and the regional development was the most balanced.The coupling coordination degree gap between the trinity healthcare system and the internal binary systems among provinces gradually widened,and the multi-polarization trend intensified.The paths to promote high-level three medical linkage can be summarized into two types:internal and external balanced development type(H1)and government-led type(H2,H3),among which the H1 path with per capita GDP and health expenditure as core conditions was the most common.Conclusion:It is suggested to enhance institutional and technological innovation,and integrate resources through a cross-departmental collaboration mechanism and digital technology.Provinces should select high-level optimization paths by leveraging regional endowments to narrow the regional development gap.Meanwhile,under the impetus of high-level policies,the protection and supervision system continues to improve,thereby promoting the three medical linkage.

Aim To investigate the effect of total gly-cosides of peony on Th17/Treg balance in autoimmune thyroiditis(AIT)by regulating miR-155 expression.Methods Sixty female SD rats were randomly divided into a blank control group,a model group,high-dose,medium,and low-dose groups of total glycosides of peony,and a Western medicine control group(seleni-um yeast group).After eight weeks of modeling,the pathological changes in thyroid tissue were observed by HE staining,the expression of miR-155 in the thyroid of rats was detected by RT-PCR,the targeting effect of miR-155 on SOCS1 was verified by dual luciferase method,and the levels of TGAb,TPOAb,IL-10,and IL-17 in peripheral serum were detected by ELISA,the expression of thyroid SOCS1 was detected by WB,and the proportion of Th17 and Treg in CD4+cells of the spleen was detected by flow cytometry.Results Com-pared with the blank group,the expression of miR-155 in the thyroid gland of the model group rats significant-ly increased,and the serum levels of TGAb,TPOAb,and IL-17 significantly increased,with an increase in the proportion of Th17;the IL-10 level significantly decreased,the proportion of Treg decreased,and the expression of SOCS1 protein decreased,with statistical significance(P＜0.01);compared with the model group,the high,medium,and low dose groups of total glycosides of peony and selenium yeast groups showed a decrease in miR-155 expression,a decrease in TGAb,TPOAb,IL-17 levels,a decrease in Th17 pro-portion,an increase in IL-10 level,an increase in Treg proportion,and an increase in SOCS1 expression,all with statistical significance(P＜0.01).Moreover,the improvement in the medium dose group of total glyco-sides of peony was more significant.Conclusion To-tal glycosides of peony downregulate miR-155 expres-sion,regulate Th17/Treg balance,alleviate inflamma-tory response,and exert immune regulatory effects.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expression of microribonucleic acid(miR)-19a-3p and miR-23b-3p in prostate cancer tissues and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis.Methods:135 prostate cancer patients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to October 2021 were selected,all patients underwent radical prostatectomy or radical prostatectomy plus lymph node dissection,surgically resected cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were taken,and the expression of miR-19a-3p and miR-23b-3p were detected.The patients were followed up for 3 years after discharge,the survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier,and the factors affecting the prognosis of prostate cancer patients were analyzed by COX regression.Results:The expression of miR-19a-3p and miR-23b-3p in cancer tissues of prostate cancer patients were lower than those in adjacent tissues(P＜0.05).the expression of miR-19a-3p and miR-23b-3p in prostate cancer tissues with tumor stage pT3-4,gleason grade Gleason 3-5 and lymph node metastasis was lower than that in prostate cancer tissues with tumor stage pT1-2,Gleason 1-2 and no lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).3 cases were lost to follow-up,20 cases died and 112 cases survived.The 3 years overall survival(OS)rate in prostate cancer patients with low expression of miR-19a-3p and low expression of miR-23b-3p was lower than that in prostate cancer patients with high expression of miR-19a-3p and high expression of miR-23b-3p(P＜0.05).Lymph node metastasis was a risk factor for poor prognosis in prostate cancer patients(P＜0.05),and high expression of miR-19a-3p and miR-23b-3p were protective factors(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The expression of miR-19a-3p and miR-23b-3p in prostate cancer tissues is down-regulated,and is associated with high tumor stage and histological grade,lymph node metastasis and low survival rate.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of enteral nutrition (EN) initiated within 24 h after heart transplantation in pediatric patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data from 16 pediatric heart transplant recipients at the Seventh Medical Center of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital between October 2022 and October 2024 were collected, including demographics, anthropometric measurements, biochemical markers, cytokine levels, and clinical outcomes. Based on the timing of EN initiation, the patients were divided into EN-initiated within 24 h and EN-initiated after 24 h 2 groups. Demographic data, preoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, physical examination indicators, laboratory parameters, and cytokine levels were compared between groups using independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Fisher′s exact probability test. Results:The cohort comprised 16 patients (10 males and 6 females) with an age of (12.5±1.9) years. The EN-initiated within 24 h group comprised 6 cases, and the EN-initiated after 24 h group comprised 10 cases. No significant difference was observed between the two groups in age, preoperative body mass index Z-score, preoperative ECMO support, physical examination indicators, laboratory parameters (total protein, albumin, hemoglobin), or cytokine levels (all P>0.05). Compared to the EN-initiated after 24 h group, the EN-initiated within 24 h group exhibited a shorter intensive care unit stay ( t=2.65, P<0.05) and shorter mechanical ventilation duration ( t=2.23, P<0.05) than EN-initiated after 24 h group. Total hospitalization length had no significant difference ( P>0.05). At 72 h post-transplant, the EN-initiated within 24 h group had a lower interleukin-12 P70 ( t=2.46, P<0.05) and interferon-γ levels ( t=2.55, P<0.05) than EN-initiated after 24 h group. Prior to discharge, the EN-initiated within 24 h group has a lower mean skinfold thickness ( t=2.49, P<0.05) and lower mid-upper arm circumference ( t=2.36, P<0.05) compared with the EN-initiated after 24 h group. Conclusions:Initiating EN within 24 h postoperatively is safe and feasible in pediatric heart transplant recipients. Early EN may shorten the length of intensive care unit stay and mechanical ventilation while attenuating postoperative release of inflammatory cytokine.
